Letting him lose like that was an asinine move. We know the people running the Trump campaign aren't geniuses, and their candidate isn't it, either, but there's dumb, and then there's massively stupid. That was definitely the latter.

"Don't insult people you want something from (in this case votes)" should be an easy rule to remember, but it's evidently too complicated for some folks.

I'd be surprised, though, if anyone was expecting this event to be "the final blow to the Harris campaign." Well, maybe Trump, but he's nuttier than squirrel poo, so he doesn't count.
